that is something discernible

don't give yourself so little credit

Yes, but I'm just another individual spotted in the wild

not quite

Why would you want to hear my opinions

I think you're an intelligent and thoughtful person

I'm not suspicious btw, only curious

I understand

you underwent a couple of layers of selection to end up in here

you're not just a random, even if we had not talked to date

"what kind of higher, permanent, rock solid truth are we talking about here"

I can only say that it is something not yet realized

I listened to your music too, so just on that basis you wouldn't be worthless

fair enough

I have a couple of ideas about music that need a bit more testing

music and personality

I think that Buddhist, Hermetic and other doctrines which say that such a realization is a moment of bliss, not an endless maintenance, make sense, and hence, I consider myself somebody who isn't there

I want to listen to music by a confirmed sociopath

that is good

how does one go further down that path

wherever it leads

define sociopathy

I won't right now, but I'll define a sociopath

a sociopath is a person who has no conscience, the primary problem of whom is never having formed a loving bond with another human being

further from the above are my own ideas

I agree with some psychiatrists in the earlier part of the 20th century and a couple of other people that humans create for themselves various "false selves"

I suppose you could call them identities too

or masks

these false selves are derived from an underlying true self

that may not be realized

but is nevertheless playing a big role, each "mask" is a subset of the true self in a way

a sociopath is someone who has no true self, has not developed one, or cannot access his true self in any way (theory)

due to the above issue, never having formed a loving bond with another human being

in a critical stage of development

usually that bond would be with a parent or parents (and a few more people for most healthy individuals)

For me, sociopathy has so far been, In my undestanding, defined by these two

1. Ability to understand how human emotions work, but not to genuinely display or posses them

(hence psychopaths/sociopaths are masters at deception)

2. Inability for any loyalties other than towards one self

both are indeed qualities possessed by the sociopath
